Brave Boy

In early April, Skyler saw the allergist for the first time. He ordered bloodwork. Skyler was very brave when getting his blood drawn, and only shed ONE tear. Afterwards, we took him to Hoffmans chocolates and ice cream shop for home made ice cream and a chocolate treat. here is what he picked:



You can see the bandage from where the blood was drawn and also based on his shirt, he must have painted in school that day.
Still trying to figure out his allergy status, as the bloodwork was negative, but they need to do the skin prick testing which is more thorough. so far after 2 attempts for various reasons he has not gotten the skin testing. They have him taking singulair and pataday eye drops. skyler saw the eye doctor on 4/25 and he said it looks like an ocular allergy and to try using eye drop tears a few times a day for a few weeks and see if that helps.
